Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rs. 10500.

Given that, SP = Rs. 3675

Discount = 65%

SP = MP × 100−D100{100 - D}\over 100

Let the marked price of the car be Rs. x.

According to the given question,

 SP = MP × 100−D100{100 - D}\over 100

⇒ 3675 = x  × 100−65100{100 - 65}\over 100

⇒ 3675 = x  × 3510035\over 100

⇒ x = 105 × 100

⇒ x = 10500

Hence the marked price of the car is Rs. 10500.
